If there is one word to describe today’s steal, the Lush collections by My Minds Eye, it would be lush! Not only are all of these collections filled with incredible trims, brads, buttons and tags, but some of the papers in each collection are as lush as a crushed velvet dress.

Several weeks ago one of our fans, April Fraley, ran her first 5K race. For any of you that know me, you know that running is a big part of my life, and I was so thrilled that April took on the challenge of her first race ever. I pretty much begged her to let me scrap the photos of her event, and have just been waiting for the right papers to come along. I love how today’s orange and navy collections worked so perfectly for the layout.

There were so many of April’s race photos that I wanted to include, but wanted to keep it to a single page layout so I had fun working with some smaller sized photos.

I also had a great time mixing the buttons, brads, gems and trim of the navy and orange collections.

April, thank you so much for allowing me to scrap this amazing event in your life.

Now it’s time to announce the winners of our Opal 1a and 1b sketches. That’s right! Van did such an amazing job as our guest, and you all did such an amazing job completing your layouts that I think it’s only appropriate that we celebrate with two winners.

Our random winners are Misty Buck!

…and Erica Bass!
